They walked through into the kitchen were everyone was sitting around the island eating sandwiches. They all looked up, but didn't say anything. She walked round to the counter and grabbed a plate and some sandwiches, then came and sat down.
"Sorry Tony," she said, looking at him, "I didn't mean to snap, I know you were only trying to help," the conversation stopped and Tony looked down, "yeah well, for what its worth I wasn't very nice either, so I guess I should also apologize." Tony sounded as if he had never apologized to someone in his life, and to be honest he probably hadn't, but Anna nodded her head anyway, "thanks."
After lunch, Fury called in to talk about what they had told him earlier that day.
"We are going to need immediate action, but we will need you to go in as we do not have any covert weapons and we just fire on them, Scorpia will know." Said Fury, obviously stressed. "They probably know anyway to be honest, they will have Intel that I am over here and they will probably decide to attack soon, so as well as being covert we also need to act quickly." This point came from Anna, she knew that Scorpia were highly observant and that they would not hesitate in killing any of them in order to stop Scorpia being taken down.
"But why the avengers, we're hardly the most covert of all your teams," said Bruce, and the others all agreed. "You may not be, but you have skills that most of my agents just don't have and it's going to take all we've got to execute this mission," said Nick. The others saw his point, but it didn't mean they were all happy about it, Bruce looked faintly green at the prospect in more ways than one until Fury added. "Dr. Banner, I think that it would be best if you didn't actively participate in this mission, but we will need your help back at headquarters if you don't mind," Bruce looked visibly relieved, "not at all."
They started discussing potential strategies until Natasha suddenly spoke up, "Is the kid coming with us?" Fury shook his head, "She's here for protection and we don't think that she needs to put her life in danger," "she's right here" mumbled Anna, but understood the point that they were making, it would be nice not to be needed for at least once. But then the voice of Jarvis spoke up, "Excuse me, but there are intruders at the roof, they are currently getting the fire door open." Everyone was quiet until Steve started speaking, " everybody, we need to stop these people, we do not know how hostile they are or what their intentions are so do not kill them," "we will send back up from Shield stick tight and-" Fury's voice suddenly cut off and all the lights cut out. "Jarvis, I need a status report on the building please" said Tony, he sounded stressed and stamped his foot when there was no response, "Jarvis?" There was still no response, from the AI "They've probably cut the power out, smart move, gives them the advantage if they know who we are," said Natasha, "everyone knows who we are, after all this is the Avengers tower" said Clint. "Tony, I take it you can't access your suit with no electricity" said Steve. "No, but there is a back up generator in the basement," Steve was swiftly taking control of the situation, "Right, Tony and Bruce, you go down to the basement, Tony you need to switch on the backup generator and Bruce you need to go to the Hulk proof room okay, we don't want you tearing down the building, sorry" "I understand" said Bruce, sounding resigned. "The rest of you, your weapons are in the training room right?" "Yes" said Natasha, "but I have a gun on me at the moment" "weirdo" muttered Clint under his breath, and Natasha aimed a gentle kick at his leg. "Okay, Anna and Clint, you need to go to the training room, and then Barton you need to get Anna to safety, then join me and Nat on the roof." "Got it," said Clint and he and Anna ran quickly along the corridor, to the training room.
